Ok. I understand. This seam really strange, to me at least.

Worth a try it is.

I think it does something to check what it gets. And if it gets bad
packages it requests a new one. But i really don't know much about
tcp/ip.

That would be good too. But what you say may indicate that speed is a
factor. Though strange. Maybe the router ain't geared for your fast
download rate.

`curl` can with the '--limit-rate' parameter. So something along the
line of:
$ curl --limit-rate 100K http://path/to/autobuild/dmg > dmg # dl @
100K/s
